Connections & Setup
Notes:
• If a protective cap is on the battery,
remove it before use or charging.
• When charging a battery for the first
time or after a long storage period, the
CHARGE indicator may not come on.
Remove the battery and try again.
• Charge the battery in temperatures
between 50˚ and 90˚ Fahrenheit (10-35˚
Celsius).
• Charging times are based on a fully
discharged battery and vary depending
on ambient temperature and battery
conditions.
Removing the Battery
Raise the viewfinder, slide the BAT. RELEASE switch,
and pull out the battery pack.
Notes:
• If you store a partially charged battery
for a long period of time, its
performance is reduced.
• During charging or discharging, the
camcorder can’t be operated.
• Charging and discharging isn’t possible if
the wrong type of battery is used.
• If the battery operation time remains
extremely short even after having been
fully charged, the battery is worn out
and needs to be replaced. Please
purchase a new one.
Tip
Before extended use, it is
recommended that you prepare
enough battery packs to cover 3
times the planned shooting time.
